To recommend appropriate strength, evaluate skin texture and inquire about client’s history of glycolic use.
Apply morning and night to cleansed skin using the applicator to target specific problem areas on the face and neck, avoiding eye area. DO NOT RINSE. Start by one application every other night, increase to one application daily, then up to two times daily for best results. Ensure skin is perfectly clean and dry before application of glycolics, as water will neutralize glycolic acid. May be used in conjunction with Cellular Renewal Serum. (i.e. Morning: Cellular Renewal Serum, Night: Glycolics).
WARNING: The tingling sensation that may be felt is a sign that the product is active on the skin. The sensation tends to diminish with repeated use. Should it persist or should signs of irritation appear discontinue use. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of children’s reach.
Notes:
- Glycolics can increase sun sensitivity. Sunbar UV shield SPF 48 is recommended for use during glycolic treatments.
- It is a good idea to start a client slowly on Glycolics. Glycolic-6 is recommended if the client has never used glycolic acid before and gradually increase as the client progresses through treatment.
- Clients with fair skin and blue eyes should be started off on the 6% strength.
- Glycolics should not be applied on lesions or around the eyes.
- For use on entire face and neck, application period must be controlled. Apply for a period of 8 weeks, then discontinue use for the following 8 weeks (8 weeks on, 8 weeks off).
